"The player joined Newcastle for 30 million in the summer, and he has been excellent for them. He has a long-term contract with Newcastle, and they are under no pressure to sell him. They are likely to demand a lot of money if Liverpool or Manchester United decides to come calling in the summer. Liverpool need more quality in the defensive unit, and there is no doubt that German could be a useful acquisition."
"The Newcastle star could be ideal for them. Similarly, Manchester United would also need to add more depth to the defensive unit. Harry Maguire is in his 30s, and they need to start planning for his succession. It will be interesting to see whether either club is willing to pay a premium for him. Newcastle will not want to lose the player easily."
Manchester United and Liverpool are monitoring Newcastle defender Malick Thiaw ahead of a potential summer transfer. Newcastle paid 30 million for Thiaw last summer and hold him on a long-term contract, leaving no immediate pressure to sell and enabling the club to demand a substantial fee. Liverpool require defensive reinforcements with Ibrahima Konate nearing contract end and Joe Gomez linked with an exit. Manchester United also need defensive depth as Harry Maguire ages. Thiaw is 24, entering prime years, and could find a move to an elite club attractive, but Newcastle aim to retain their best players.
